Galerie Fotoland is excited to present new work by Richard Dunford, An Intimate View of Wild Lands. Dunford’s love of nature and the Pacific Northwest shines through in images of dense landscape, rich in color and layers of texture.

“The dead of winter in the Northwest, in the overcast and rain is lifeless, dreary and gray if you let be so. I see vibrant, saturated color… Winter’s low sun, and its incumbent sidelight reveals secrets in shape and spaces.”

Dunford tried in this series to shift the view from a single focal point, the tree, to the landscape as a whole. “It is, to be sure, a messy visual experience… I am allowing light and shadow define spaces and create depth. The surround then creates the image.”

An Intimate View of Wild Lands is on display February 5th through March 13th, on the first floor Library building lobby.

The Library is pleased to present select works by faculty member Alex McCarty. McCarty (’00, ’02) is a member of the Makah Nation, as well as being an artist and teacher. He works in both contemporary printmaking and traditional style woodcarving. He is currently co-teaching the program Studio Projects: Tradition and Innovation, where students are learning the art of woodcarving, focusing on traditional designs and techniques.

His carvings and prints as well as other traditional style art pieces can be found in display cases within the library. Photographs of McCarty and his students by Briana Martini can be found on the staircase leading up to the third floor of the library.

“A photographic image of a landscape is a moment in time; the slow and endless grind of folding, faulting, uplift, weathering, erosion, subsidence, deposition, continue. Everybody sees something different when they look at a landscape; what I see is a product of my life experiences.”

Galerie Fotoland is currently showcasing work by our very own faculty member Ken Tabbutt. In his first ever photography exhibition, 20 year geology professor Ken Tabbutt presents a series of recently created photographs that present a poetic and awe-inspiring depiction of the subjects he normally explores through the field of geology. Galerie Fotoland is located in the library 1st floor lobby.

Our students, staff and faculty have shown great concern about the precarious funding status of our Evergreen Gallery, the campus wide exhibition space that introduces our community to new, curriculum relevant works, and maintains our important permanent collection. Support for its director, Ann Friedman, and the gallery itself may lose all funding after December of next year.

Zoe Kolln and Pamela Davis are two students that saw the need to initiate a petition drive. You can read Greener and alumni comments, and show your support here.

In Pamela’s words, “Evergreen has some amazing art facilities to offer to students wishing to pursue art, but without the gallery I believe a lot of potential students will choose another school. The lack of a gallery will have a grave impact on the school’s reputation. It sends the message that Evergreen doesn’t support the arts.”

Zoe states “As a student studying visual literacy, art history, and various media, it is incredibly invaluable towards my educational goals to have a dedicated space to view and engage with artwork here on campus. The gallery is important in the retention & attraction of students and since Olympia does not have an art museum, the presence of each and every gallery is necessary.”

Our rare books collection is a gallery of rare and unusual books. We have focused this collection around several formats – handmade and small press books, miniature books, and trade books that are beautiful to look at, touch, and read. In addition, we collect books with regional content and themes, including Northwest authors, Northwest history, and diverse antiquities donated by people who live in Northwest region.

The James F Holly rare books room is located on the third floor of the library. Our new displays can be found on the first and second floor inside the library, and on the stairwell leading down to the archives room.

The Rare Books Room is open on Monday and Wednesday 2-5, and Tuesday and Thursday 3-5.
